Well... That "second chance" restock didn't last long! Mountain Fortress and Mushroom House sold out in about 5 minutes, everything besides Logging Railway and Ominous Isle was sold out in 15 minutes, and now, about 25 minutes after, only Logging Railway is left. About what I thought it would be, though. They made it pretty clear the numbers were going to be very limited, but hopefully a few people were able to get some sets they missed out on. Now if only they could do this to regular retail sets after they retire for a last shot at some sets...

Marvel Superheroes 2025 - Rumors & Discussion
JohnTPT17 replied to Clone OPatra's topic in LEGO Licensed
They put half a horse in the foil bags with the Centaur... But I agree that getting an entire horse might be wishful thinking. More realistic might be a horse head on a stick, or just including the horse as a photo (like Gleek was with TLBM2). I vote Jor-El. Lex has a bit of "angry clone head" syndrome that makes it look pretty generic, but Jor-El feels a lot more unique. -
2025/26 Castle [wishlist/speculation]
JohnTPT17 replied to GreenhouseBricker's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
Love the look of both factions! Can't wait for the parts to be added to Pick a Brick - I'll want a couple of each for sure. I'll probably grab a space man of each color as well, and maybe a few other of the new torsos. -
Marvel Superheroes 2025 - Rumors & Discussion
JohnTPT17 replied to Clone OPatra's topic in LEGO Licensed
I don't see it being any more likely than any of the other Disney+ shows, which only got a few What If sets and the CMFs. I don't expect Ironheart to be any different - it's far more likely Lego will want to invest in Doomsday and more established, Infinity Saga sets. -
Ah - gotcha! That does help alleviate a lot of my fears. In the future, then, I might include at least one "IRL" picture of the submission - those ones always stand out to me, and it lets me know that the actual build can actually be done (I mentioned the JonasKramm designs, and he does something similar). Best of luck to you!

Based on your username, it looks like you are the designer? Well, I suppose that I'm not really in the "target audience" for it - especially when, with that part count, it would be $300+. So, it simply doesn't appeal to me personally. The bigger thing, though, is that I have questions about how stable it would be when fully built. Is the weight going to cause any issues? Are all the parts going to stay on? Can I pick it up without crushing it? It looks like there are only digital renders, so it's hard to say how it could perform IRL. Maybe a cross-section could be included, so people could know what it looks like inside? Not to say that I think it looks bad or anything! Those are just my initial thoughts based on it.

I only have eyes for Mushroom Haven - another slam dunk for the Mushroom Village "series." I do like seeing a few designs that fit into that "world" from other builders, but JonasKramm's designs are just on another level. Lots of space and train entries this time - and I think they are overall better than previous series. I think something from one of those series will make it. I don't care enough about either of those subseries to do specific shoutout, but there are a lot of good ones. Here's a few other shoutouts: Jungle Adventure: basically what Lost City should have been, IMO. A good mix of playability and a much cleaner design overall. Explorers of the Sky: I'm not a huge steampunk guy, but this one does a low with a lower part count. Fish & Chips Truck: Yeah, it's another vehicle on a baseplate. But I like the pelican build. Lion Knight's Galley: Very small and chibi, and I doubt the STAMP would be allowed in the final design, but I still like it. If none of the old Viking ships can get approved, maybe this one? (the designer also has some other ships) Second Life of the Tree: Dislike that most of the interior is taken up by the staircase, but otherwise I think it looks quite cozy. The Forest Village: Another Hanwas design, and the visual language is very similar to his past designs, but it still looks good. A Walk in the Park: A small set that isn't a vehicle on a baseplate! The Eastern Alliance: As usual, there's a lot of big castles, but this one stands out to me a little more. It seems very "playable" and can be moved around in several ways. Ice Cream Grill: A poor man's Downtown Diner, but it has a lot of clever details (I especially like the Ice Planet penguin). Car could be better, though. Gilded Island Keep: Another big castle, but this one feels very different. Being able to fold up is another bonus. SkatePark: On one hand, it's basically a lot of flat tiles. But it also has several clever details, and the ability to fold into different designs. Hot Air Balloon: Another small, cozy set. The clouds looks especially nice. The Gothic Movie Theater: I maybe have done a shoutout for this one before (there's a few other returning sets, I'm trying to focus on new ones), but it still looks great, if it's not new. Not sure I can really say my choices for a Top 5 this time - I like a lot more of the small sets than the big ones, and realistically only one (maybe two) of them will get made. And I still have a hunch that a train or space set (or both) will get picked. If you twist my arm, though, I'd say Mushroom Haven, Hot Air Balloon, Ice Cream Grill, Explorers of the Sky, and The Gothic Movie Theater might be my Top 5. As long as I get Mushroom Haven, though, I'm happy!

Glad to see Goldie! I've known her since the Gamecube, so she's an easy pickup. Not sure if I'll get the house two-pack or not... Probably depends on what the final arrangement I want for my Animal Crossing town. Stitches and Whitney are greatly appreciated, though. I initially thought that the Museum was just a wall/facade, but there are photos out of the back of the box - it does indeed have a (basic) interior!

I'm hoping that since they aren't dual-molded like the sheep, they will be closer to $3 a pop, like the Friends animals. Then again, the goat is also $5, and I don't think it is dual molded...

Mine has only ever had them for the retail $140 - I'd easily get one for $56! I'll try to stay spoiler free for now, but I'm sure I'll come across it anyways. -

No deals for the Onyx Cinder? I thought that one would have been a shoe-in for some kind of a discount. I don't have Disney+ right now... Dunno if that excites me or scares me. -

New moulded Mushu photos with the 43267 Friends set. He looks... very "Friends" to me. Might need to see a better picture to decide if I'll want him. -

Depending on how the set and the movie do, there's a chance that there could be a second, delayed set that fills in some of the gaps in the cast (like with No Way Home) - maybe we can get a normal-arm Reed, HERBIE, Silver Surfer, and their car in January? -

Let's just call 75413 "Schrödinger's Battle Tank" for now, apparently. Either the photos the leakers are looking at are super blurry and they are just guessing, or (and this is a long shot) it's a Creator-style set that allows you to build one of multiple different tanks. -

Priced out of rent, priced out of education, priced out of a new Nintendo console, priced out of Lego... There seems to be no end to this. Sigh... -

My translation says "A new faction appears." Dunno which ones is right, though. -
2025/26 Castle [wishlist/speculation]
JohnTPT17 replied to GreenhouseBricker's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
They don't look molded to me - especially the blue one. It looks way thinner and stretches out horizontally more than the rubber capes. I think they technically get around it by posting the watermarked images to a secondary subreddit, then repost it to the main one. So, if a strike happens, it would only affect the secondary subreddit. It looks like the old crown hair mold to me: -

JohnTPT17 replied to Captain Nemo's topic in LEGO Licensed
I've already noticed Minifigure madness, a big seller of sealed CMF cases, doing clearance sales on those dumb little cars. So dumb they took a CMF slot - if they were a side thing like Mario, than fine, but they seem to already be selling terribly. I'd love to get Zelda or Animal Crossing CMFs, though. -
2025/26 Castle [wishlist/speculation]
JohnTPT17 replied to GreenhouseBricker's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
I had a dream last night that this new castle was actually a backdoor pilot to a new, standard playset wave of Castle sets coming out in 2026. It might help explain why the printing budget for this set is so high, but that also might be a long shot... I don't think the castle looks like $120, but it still looks pretty good to me. As a general release Creator set, it will be easy to find for $100 or cheaper, though. I'm very interested to see what the rest of the interior and the other builds looks like. -

JohnTPT17 replied to GreenhouseBricker's topic in LEGO Historic Themes
The Ocarina is already on Pick a Brick, and this shield means two of the molds are non-exclusive. I think that just leaves the Master Sword and hair for exclusive molds - and presumedly some of those will be used in whatever the next D2C Zelda gets next year. -

JohnTPT17 replied to Clone OPatra's topic in LEGO Licensed
There's a chance it's partly a spoiler thing. Several characters have already been revealed for Doomsday, so there might be more to work with than Mando and Grogu, which hasn't had much officially revealed yet.
